Gotcha.  What your want is to setup a DHCP reservation.

I don't know how you do it in Yast, but I believe you can doing it by editing 
dhcpd.conf.  Try appending the following to it:


host yourhostname
{
     hardware ethernet 00:50:da:de:3a:e4;
     fixed-address 192.168.200.10;
}

Replace the series of numbers and colons on the hardware Ethernet line the Mac 
address your trying to create a reservation for. Then replace the ip address 
with the reserved address.

Restart dhcpd.  Typing: rcdhcpd at the cl should do it for you.

Good luck.

Daniel
